I’m afraid to admit that this Netflix flick crashed through my defenses and eventually – eventually – won me over. It’s a bit manipulative (call it drama, call it suspense) but it’s such a winning, good-natured film that I have … Continue reading
Knock at the Cabin is one of M. Night Shyamalans better pictures, often encroaching on the top tier of his career. Doesn’t quite get there, but it’s sometimes a squeaker. If the script had been a little tighter, a little … Continue reading

Infinity Pool is a bit of an uneven film that I’m ultimately coming down positive on, certainly more so than I thought I was during its second act. It’s third act – and especially it’s ending – really feeds my … Continue reading
